Description

The Polylang plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wp_insert_post_data() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to duplicate media via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
